On November 21, President Vladimir Putin said that the officers killed in a mysterious nuclear explosion in northwestern Russia this summer were develooping an “unparalleled” weapon.
This accident occurred at a naval missile test facility in Nyonoksa in northwestern Russia on August 8. A liquid propulsion system blast killed five people and and led to a brief radiation spike nearby. Then, Putin said that the accident occurred during testing of what he called promising new weapons systems.
“We’re talking about the most advanced and unparalleled technical ideas and solutions, about weapons designed to ensure Russia’s sovereignty and security for decades to come,” the Russian president told the victims’ relatives at a televised state awards ceremony in the Kremlin. Putin said that the scientists “were conducting the most complex, responsible and critically important work.”
“The very fact of possessing these unique technologies is the most important reliable guarantee of peace on the planet today.“
The Russian leader did not identify the weapons involved in the accident but said that Russia will continue improving them. However, experts and media outlets speculate that the explosion involved the Burevestnik nuclear-powered intercontinental cruise missile.
Why does a failed state which is scared of even scarecrows like Israel and Turkey need nuclear weapons?
To amuse such idiots as you…
That whore doesn’t deserve your answer.
I have a doubt – are you Tudor Miron or Tudor Moron
Send him to Poland to amuse the American soldiers
Sea wolves are good at amusing American soldiers
Because in 1946 The USA refused a plan to give up their nuclear weapons to the UN (Braunch plan) while at the same The Soviets got wind of the US plans to bomb 66 Soviet cities with nuclear weapons while the British independently had a plan called (Operation Unthinkable) in which a combined force of US, British and German armies destroy and occupy the Soviet Union.
Had the USA given up their weapons to the UN the Russians wouldn’t have needed a bomb.
Too many nuclear accidents recently.
South front, there was nothing nuclear about that accident. That was explosion of liquid fuel of propulsion system as you note it. Rumors about “brief radiation spike” that came from NATO Norway is just that – rumors.
